Hot console
I just got my RX8 this friday and I noticed that. I had my cell phone charger in there and thought it was causing the problem.
So if this is a feature, perhaps someone will build a mod for a warm salad bar type of thing... I'm thinking pizza by the slice. Perhaps a sneeze gaurd from the ceiling.

MIne gets warm but not "boiling" And no problems as far as the A/C keeping up. And it's been damn hot here in Fl. as well. Check out the DIY on the added insulation and solve the problem.

Center Console Insulation TSB
[QUOTE=04RX*]do any of you have this problem where the center console and shifter area gets really hot ...?QUOTE]04RX, There used to be a TSB on this, at http://www.finishlineperformance.com...ins_index.html , but it's no longer there. Maybe you can search the forum on "center console insulation". I had the TSB applied about 8 months ago and my center cup holders haven't been hot, since. Don't know why they removed that TSB from the Rosenthal website, though. Let us know if you find it! hth, Gary

When I changed to aftermarket exhaust and mid-pipe, the heat in the consol dropped considerably. Before that, I used to think I could dump a few kernels in the cup holders, close the lid and enjoy fresh popcorn on the road :D
